[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2561790, member: 101791"] I have 2 25/06's. I am looking at a new up grade to a Rem 700 LA, 25/280AI case, in a 7-1 twist or faster. The case is about a .1" longer than the other cases in that type of chambering to the shoulder. You can fireform the cases or get 280AI cases and size them down to .257 necks. Otherwise I wouldn't go any less than a 25/06AI chamber. The .257WBM is possible another way to go. The others are on the line of a slow boat to china. Needing powder to push the heavy bullets. I hunted a great many year with a Rem 721 in 25/06, and have taken over 50 deer in that time, and out to 500yds. If wanting to you can look in Pond Shops for a Rem 700 LA with serial number A,B, & C on them. Those are good actions Newer than that not so good. You are going to have to change barrels anyway. Reamer are probable more available at smiths, than others. Otherwise you will have to have a reamer built. Depending on what level of reloading you due. You may want to reduce the neck chambering area for a closer fit. You can it on paper cheaper than starting out the gate without thinking about it and looking what can be done. [/QUOTE]
